BIG&#;s proposal was designed to serve as the new headquarters for st Century Fox and News Corp who were planning to move and  consolidate their companies and more than , people under one roof. The design concentrates the needs and requirements of the media company and other tenants into seven separate building volumes, each tailored to their unique activities, while simultaneously creating , sq ft of outdoor space.

The landscape unites across the railway and is shaped by flow. The fast flow that takes the traveler directly to their destination, the slow flow that takes the visitor on a journey of discovery and a coffee break, the bicycle flow that swings slightly in the landscape, and a winding flow that provides accessibility for everyone. On top of this landscape an environment of commercial surfaces with street furniture and protected zones gives an organic and soft expression. Residents will be able to cross the railroad tracks and travel between the districts all year round and around the clock via the separated pedestrian and bicycle passage. Ground heating and lighting will be available for cold and dark periods.

Exploring the store and its different levels feels like a carefully curated environment where furniture is never only storage: interweaving carpets become dressing rooms, countertops are a sculptural stack of elements, magic carpets for the shoe display double as furniture for the shoppers to sit and try the footwear. The upper levels of the store are more refined and continue the idea of furniture as artifact.

Capital is a flexible, foldable pair of headphones, designed to provide on-the-go urbanites with the opportunity to listen to their preferred sounds. Users can soundtrack their day in any kind of weather and at all times, while wearing a design that’s effortlessly iconic, thoroughly realized and comfortable. Made out of fiber-reinforced nylon with a lightweight rubber brace, this is a headphone built to withstand heavy everyday use in urban environments. It’s tested to withstand rain, snow and dirt, while delivering clear and crisp sound from the protected mm driver.

As a contribution to the public conversation, BIG developed the BQP – turning the BQ-Expressway into a BQ-Park, while still accommodating significant vehicle flows along the route. The BQP provides a platform for adding significant new parkland along an underused corridor, while connecting Brooklyn Heights to Brooklyn Bridge Park with a preserved or re-constructed cliffside – crisscrossed by rampways, greenery, and park amenities.
